Luscious Jackson

Soothe Yourself

i've been soother

and i've been wife

tried to solve your life

stuck with you through your rainy days

thought that it was just a phase

when the sun came out i tried

to get away and fly

but the needs we had did not subside

what a way for our love to die

i've been hiding behind my gifts

i give until it starts to rip

the skin is torn where i begin

the thread is worn and might give in

underneath it all i feel the eyes

of all the things that i despise

can i fight them off with sticks and stones?

can i fight them off alone?

soothe yourself (3x)

now i'm thinking about my own advice

if i could soothe myself it might be nice

callin' names ain't the same no more

took a look and locked that door

memories and cold hard facts

watched it all come rushing back

all the times i told you what to do

all the times i thought i knew

soothe yourself (4x)

soothe yourself (3x)
